Current Events > Just went 18/20 with my Mill Deck in MTG Arena

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm so happy I finally found a deck that's working well for me. I still could tweek it a bit, but I don't feel like going through all the cards I don't have to seeing if I should grab some with some of the Wildcards.

I know you can do it pretty well with B/U, but I'm going full U right now

I like playing my TurboRat deck.

No idea what that means, tbh

I guess I could list my cards, but I don't really want to take the time to type them all out, lol

I like living on the edge. It's nail biting to be down to 1-2 H and you're just trying to stay alive by drawing cards to draw more cards and Sleep/Bounce them up.

I enjoy the drama, and I like seeing those Vampire Decks have 76 life and still lose when I'm down to 4 HP

Do you run that one Rat card that lets you have unlimited of them in the deck?

No, just random matches. I was just testing the deck out and just ran through people with it

Rat Colony + Tetsuko + Experimental Frenzy

Tetsuko makes all creatures you control with 1 defense unblockable and Frenzy lets you play directly from your draw pile.

Get the right hand at the start and it's a quick win. The only problem is agro red cheese decks.

there's a button on the deck list page that can export a decklist as text

i hate mill so much

That just delays the inevitable. People focus too much on the rats and not the supporting cast. If you have a lightning bolt, would you get rid of my 4/1 rat or my 1/3 Tetsuko that makes those rats unblockable?

Helm Of The Host X2
Snare X1

And I think a lot of the players don't even know what happens when they lose the game. I don't think some of them understand that you lose at the start of your turn if you can't draw a card

I mostly built this because of Vampire decks and their Lifelink tricks

and this on the other hand has too few lands (and also too many cards but you probably know that already)

Yeah both players need to be in the direct challenge queue at the same time for it to work.

run nexus of fate

@DirkDiggles

But where were your rats? =D
---

That was pretty quick for a mill deck. Nice game.
---

Not to make excuses, I had a shit draw.

Not with the 4 PowerStone Shards

I've never had any issue with Land with all the drawing I do

It's alright, we've all been there

I'll play any amount of games you want. Well, until my dinner is done

Cool. Lets.

Rats smoked me that time, lol

I like my Dino deck as well. lol

@DrizztLink

Beat me twice. He's the better player. Let's keep this topic going and let's all play games together. I have to go eat, but I'd love to play more with people latter

I have a lot of decks built

It's all fun, man.

Yeah, I was thinking that. I'll thin it out a bit.

I really can't wait until Christmas is over because I want to go and play Paper Magic

Ohh, too many, I thought they said too few. Yeah, I'm sure I can cut the Island down

nah, you guys are opposites, he has too many and you have too few. if you went down to 60 cards though I don't think 20 lands is super unrealistic though since you don't have too much high cost stuff

I just hit gold tier.

Thanks Kirby for pointing that out.

DirkDiggles posted...

Thanks Kirby for pointing that out.

I've played a few frenzy decks myself and I know how much it sucks to get 2 lands in a row, which is why I say it

you might want to put in treasure maps if you have any

river's rebuke could take its spot maybe? costs more but bounces more things (and also leaves your own creatures)

Like I said [I think], I dont know what cards are out there that might help. I need to go through the cards I dont have some time and see if theres anything to spend Wild Cards on

don't mean to hijack but how do y'all feel about the allegiance leaks so far

the only one I looked at was simic and it's kinda lame, historically I've liked their mechanics but this is literally just a mechanic that already exists but with a new name
